I build cloud-native backend systems and CI/CD automation for scalable engineering teams.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built CI/CD automation, backend features, and internal engineering tools at Freddie Mac, Cape, and as an independent developer. At Freddie Mac, I developed Java, Spring Boot, and MongoDB services; maintained Bitrise pipelines; and later delivered BOM and Helm validation scripts, React and TypeScript features, and a lender-data web scraper proof of concept.
I'm currently the sole developer for a multi-channel e-commerce and booking platform, owning client communication, feature prioritization, and deployments. I enjoy helping startups and innovative technology companies improve infrastructure and engineering excellence through Java, Python, Docker, AWS, and practical automation.
